keenie803 Posted July 7, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2008 My husband and I will be sailing carnival and we want to do the parasailing in Grand Cayman. Is the weight restriction of 375 pounds per person or is that a combined weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Boo Posted July 13, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hi Can't say for sure, but on Royal Caribbean's Parasailing excursion, it is a "maximum combined weight of 375lbs". So I assume that the parasailing that you are looking at will be the same. Boo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rene194215 Posted July 19, 2008 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I wanted to do the parasail as well and it is the combined weight. If you google parasailing in Caymen there is a company who runs tours off of 7 mile beach who has a limit of 450 and is 50 bucks less. ( am I allowed to say this on here?) Check it out, this is the one me and my friend are going to do. What ship are you on? We are on the Carnival Valor in Sept Renee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dremac373 Posted July 21, 2008 #4 Share Posted July 21, 2008 My wife may kill me but here goes: This was my question for my 1st cruise to when we wanted to do this in Cococay, me at the time 240 so that would mean my wife would have to be no more than 135 and she was not. There was no problem then never questioned or weighed us and we had a ball in fact my pic in my name is from the sail..you will have fun and don't worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packedandready Posted August 1, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I think it has to do with wind conditions also. We parasailed in Cozumel last year and DH and I were 50 -75 lbs. under the limit and they wouldn't let us go together. They paired me up with another lady and had our DHs sail by themselves. Conditions were pretty windy that day. Several years before that we parasailed in Hawaii and went up together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Boo Posted August 12, 2008 #6 Share Posted August 12, 2008 It may or may not be an over-cautious safety/insurance measure... ...basically if the pair of you are other the combined weight limit - but you have signed something to say that you are under and except the terms of the waiver - then if anything DOES go wrong... :( I would guess that there is some margin for error as far as safety goes, but personally I wouldn't want to risk it: as another poster has said, it varies depending on wind conditions etc. Rather safe than splat.
